Troubled country singer Mindy McCready, age 37, has died of an apparent suicide, the result of a single self-inflicted gunshot, the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office has confirmed. According to E! News, McCready shot herself and her dog. The Associated Press reports that her body was found 4pm Sunday on the front porch of her home in Heber Springs, Arkansas, after neighbors heard gunshots and called the police.

Stooge, I was responding to the approriate criticism of Ice-Cream. We all like to pretend that individual responsiblity is collective, and public policy should allocate that way. This girl is a reflection of a society that has never been more superficial and disposable. Ultimately, this girl is responsible for her actions. Very sad, but less important than the lives of those aborted on demand as a birth control measure.
